Evander Kane takes to social media to thank Oilers fans, organization
It was a rough first half of the 2021-22 season for Evander Kane. In the middle of October, the NHL announced that Kane had been suspended 21 games for violating their COVID-19 protocol.
He returned from his suspension and was assigned to San Jose's AHL affiliate for a conditioning stint, where he appeared in five games. Then in early January, the Sharks placed Kane on unconditional waivers for the purpose of contract termination after he reportedly violated the AHL's COVID-19 protocol.
Kane became an unrestricted free agent and a few weeks later signed a one-year deal for the remainder of the season worth $1.375 million.
The Vancouver native's time as an Oiler was one fans will remember for a while, especially for the offensive impact he had. In 43-regular season games, Kane had 39 points and added seventeen points in fifteen playoff games.
On Thursday, Kane took to social media to thank the fans, his teammates and the Edmonton Oilers organization.
The 30-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 13th.
